What is your child learning today Year 5

[TinyTroubleMaker]

Based on discussion in another area of the site.. If your child is getting access to a decent amount from their school during lockdown, please can you list briefly what they are covering today, per day. This way other parents whose children are getting little or nothing from their school, may be able to replicate some of it at home. Thank you.

This thread is for Year 5

Our school has been fab actually, if not a little overwhelming. Each year group is having daily zoom calls as a class to set work for the day, all work can be found online. 2x maths and extension, 2x English and topic. With their everyday reading, timetables and spellings. Work expected to be uploaded daily for all. Hoping they will upload the whole week so I can print off in one go rather than daily but we shall see. Teachers all available by email also, can see they are being very thorough.

No zoom calls here.
1x maths lesson which is a video from NCTEM site with follow up questions - last about 50 mins.
1x english lesson on nouns and listing nouns in a picture, then describing the noun using 2 adjectives
Then a guided reading session with a you tube english lady ( not the teacher)
Then an RE lesson using another you tube video.
Length of the lessons was fine but I wouldn't say my bright yr5 learned anything new...
Will be keeping an eye on this.

No zoom here. Google classroom. Maths was place values. So my dd had to do 15 versions of sums like 1010=502 getting more tricky.
English had a reading comprehension with 12 questions and drawing a map to use in writing a story for the rest of the week.
Topic, write a presentation about stars (with most of the information given in a couple of online worksheets)
Not overly impressed. Not really learning anything as they have covered stars and the maths wasn't difficult.
She learnt more watching Dr Xand & Dr Chris teaching about bones live on facebook this afternoon.
We have 11+ books (kent test here) so will be adding those in too. Luckily my husband and I are good at maths and science so will be trying out experiments and teaching her maths ourselves.

Today we've had
History: introduction to Shang Dynasty. PowerPoint lesson, including video, and then a worksheet.
Maths: White Rose lesson on multiplication
English: Oak Academy, writing descriptive sentences.

No zoom which I think is needed as we know this is long haul.
Some number games
Some sentence construction
French on a website which the login details don't work for
Science
Comprehension.

All on teams

Yesterday's went:

Live registration and assembly 30mins
Live English followed by independent work uploaded to teams
Break
Live maths starter and lesson together with 30 mins to complete work independently then back onto live meeting to discuss maths work and mark/feedback
Lunch
Live History followed by set independent work
Live French with teacher then sent to language angels to do certain pieces.
Finished at 3.30.

But this is typical of any day as we've been sent a timetable

My son is in Yr 5 and so far his school have done nothing. I have purchased YR 5 books and have the BBC Bitesize for stuff.

This morning was a comprehension, plus a pe class (20min Joe wicks). This afternoon is fractions and there will be something else shortly. All live over google classroom. Very interactive and work is being marked.

Mix of Google classroom and zoom. Spellings, guided reading, then Morning hours long zoom - maths. After break another hour zoom - English, work set on Google - today it is on the vikings with some maths and English bits too.
The end of the day is a 20min zoom with the teacher reading the class some pages from their book (Wonder).
They are trying to recreate the school day.

Bump

Today was another 10 maths multiplication questions plus a virtually impossible puzzle that she needed help from an adult for. I put it on my Facebook and adults struggled to solve it so not impressed. English was not even online till we posted a comment at 10am. They had to read a comprehension and discuss with an adult and then start their story.
Getting sick of the discuss with an adult work, as my daughter is good at working by herself but not when its asking for me to work with her. Trying to get my own work done is getting harder.
No zoom or teams here, just warnings that if they don't complete all the work they will have to do it when they return. Gave up on the stars science and watched Dr xand again this afternoon.
Feedback from the other parents at our school on our work is not very positive as we are a relatively new academy yet all the other schools under the same umbrella are doing live lessons.

This is so helpful - we are getting next to nothing so far

I'm a hlta (but also a qualified teacher) leading teaching in a ks2 bubble in school.
Today our y5 have multiplied decimals, described a story setting, looked at the suffix -able and learnt about the holy trinity (faith school).

Year 3 and we had a zoom call for the class of expectations for the day. Next week this will be two zoom calls a day. This is for the kids mental welfare as much as anything as a survey was conducted for parents about what would work and what their priorities were for their children. We were the given a pdf with slides but with links to bbc bite size, you tube for bits related to their work. They had English, Science and Maths. Happy with how it is going and pleased with our school.

Thanks for this thread. We've just done some cgp book stuff today, and reading, but I'll check in with school tomorrow and report back. Great to hear what others are doing, and now I'm wondering how you multiply decimals and if my yr 5 knows how to do it 😂

My DD's school have set all the work for the whole of this week - one English and maths lesson per day, plus one science, french, geography, computing, art and PHCE lesson for the week. Oh, and PE. DD had been trying to do as much as possible each day, in the hope of giving herself Friday off!

None of it is live - all pre recorded on Google classroom, by form tutor or subject teachers (middle school rather than primary). Only form time once a week will be Zoom.

Next week it's changing a bit, in that they will be sending a video lesson for each of the lessons they would have had on the timetable that day - sounds good to me, in that the structure will be better, but still have the flexibility to work round what else is going on at home (me WFH, her sister doing Teams lessons for college, etc.)

Today another 10 maths questions and another puzzle that required assistance. Write another part of her story plus one page of reading comprehension. Ordered a cgp maths book as getting concerned that there is no teaching just recapping previous work (and apart from the stupid puzzles, my daughter is finding it easy).
Found out that the kids at school are having the same work but actually getting taught and help. We put a comment on Google classroom yesterday at 10am and didn't get a response till 7am today. There are 4 teachers in my daughters year, they are not all in school yet none of them have time to check questions from the children or parents?

Y5 use tablets for lessons when they’re in school as well as at home so it’s been a fairly seamless switch. Start with registration and class time on Google classroom where the days tasks are explained. There’s a routine of a short maths and English task every day, but the main task today was focused on the class’s history topic. They did a comprehension exercise connected with the topic, then some research to produce slide shows, then art connected with the topic. All work done on the tablet or photographed on the tablet and submitted through Google classroom. In addition they are expected to read for an hour but this is outside of school time.

Today we had English (2x oak academy sessions, based on extended Noun phrases and Oliver Twist) Maths (White Rose, multiplying 3 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers), and Science (Forces, again Oak Academy). Plus Spelling shed and reading. Also did some handwriting practice.. hers I basically illegible.
